Currently plot_topomap always shows a head centered in the MEG layout, i.e., head centered relative to the sensor positions that have been 3d-to-2d projected device coordinate frame.
We should be able to improve the accuracy of this by translating + "rotating" this head by, according to the information in dev_head_t:
I talked to @agramfort and this should be optional so that people can always get the "standard" plot back. But basically I think how we show things right now is essentially incorrect so I think we should add a parameter transform_head that moves from False(master) ->True (this proposal) via deprecation cycle (users only get a warning when showing MEG data).
This is of course contingent on this representation actually visually looking more informative.
